Radio calls in oz these days are generally a disgrace.

"Taxis this time", WRONG ,"Taxying"

"on climb", WRONG, "climbing to"

"on descent", WRONG, "descending to"

ETC ETC.

Departure calls from class D towers and MBZ's are some of the biggest jokes going around at the moment as well. All verbal diarrhoea. Have some modicum of professionalism and read your books a little more often.

I am LEAVING my girlfriends house now, (present tense).
Woops, I LEFT the condom on the pillow, (past tense).

It just aint that hard, (in the bedroom or in the air).
